What's new? Everything is new!

NiceLabel recently launched a completely updated product line, based on 25 years of industry experience and built on the most modern technology available today.

The new product line provides NiceLabel customers withunmatched print productivity through next generation technology

Familiarity and ease-of-useThe ribbon-based user interface is built on the same principles and user experience as Microsoft Word.

Unmatched reliability We built the new platform with a test driven development approach: we use .NET technology, agile development principles and computer controlled software testing. We run tens of thousands of automatic tests day and night.

Delivering unmatched print productivity and providing best practice labeling solutions that help our customers do more, faster with less

Express and Standard have been merged into a single print productivity product: Designer Express 2017. The modern “Microsoft Office” ribbon-based design interface is easier to use than ever.

The greatest additional benefit in the Designer Express 2017 is the new print module: NiceLabel Print. Print streamlines the label printing process and significantly increases print productivity and accuracy. Print operators can now use the “all-in-one” print form. The printing form includes all required UX objects: data entry fields, database navigation and selection, printer settings and a print preview of the entire print job so operators print efficiently and without errors.

Additionally, Designer Express 2017 is the only software in its product category that encourages best practices and print productivity through Microsoft Excel “database type” connectivity.

Designer Pro 2017 delivers new levels of functionality and simplicity. Even first time users can design professional labels in minutes. Setting up dynamic data such as variables, functions and database has never been easier.

Designer Pro 2017 allows the designer to customize the all-in-one print form to further streamline the print process or optimize for touch screens to further increase print productivity.

Designer Pro 2017 offers more licensing flexibility with the new multi-user edition. The multi-user edition can be used on any number of workstations. The multi-user license only limits the amount of printers, not the number of users. Next-generation licensing technology does not require the use of a license manager or separate server, it just works without any configuration or maintenance.

We made it much easier and faster for users to build solutions with the new ribbon-style interface and all of the features of the new designer. PowerForms is now even more powerful so you can build solutions without the need for VB or Python scripting. We improved the speed so that solutions can run up to six times faster. You no longer need to develop applications with Visual Studio and SDKs, you no longer even need to be a developer to build print productivity solutions.

PowerForms 2017 delivers even more flexibility without coding, with a great additional benefit: the initial form comes predesigned for you. This means you only need to resize and reposition the objects and add your custom actions. The new forms are also responsive, which means you get the same experience on screens of different sizes without having to redesign.

Automation Easy is now packaged together with the label and form designer into PowerForms Suite. This simplifies licensing, installation and provides more value. You can switch from on-demand printing forms to automated printing solution in the future with your existing licensing.
